New (Old) Dining Room Table

Image
Hello!  Wow, it's been a while hasn't it?  I'm still working on projects but just have been too busy to blog about them.  This past month, hubby and I worked on a couple of dining room projects and I wanted to share them with you here. First up, a longer, more rustic dining room table. Since our home is over 100 years old with our dining room being one of the biggest rooms in the house, I've always envisioned a long, very worn looking farmhouse table to go in the room.  Something that looked like it had been there all those years, with all kinds of history and stories behind it.  I had tried to create that several times with two different dining tables that I had built but I was never completely happy deep down with them.  But I am now.  I love what my hubby and I created, using the beautiful white table legs that my dad turned himself before he passed away. Here's a look..... We used barn wood from a very old barn in the country.  We cleaned and sanded it smooth.
